Can I use AfterShip as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a AfterShip CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose AfterShip through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected AfterShip tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are AfterShip credentials stored?

AfterShip credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for AfterShip MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

AfterShip CLI for AI Agents

Use the AfterShip CLI from KosmoKrator to call AfterShip tools headlessly, return JSON, inspect schemas, and automate workflows from coding agents, scripts, and CI.

AfterShip CLI Setup

AfterShip can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure aftership`.

Install, configure, and verify

# Install KosmoKrator first if it is not available on PATH.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenCompanyApp/kosmokrator/main/install.sh | bash

# Configure and verify this integration.
kosmokrator integrations:configure aftership --set api_key="$AFTERSHIP_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor aftership --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: API key api_key. Configure credentials once, then reuse the same stored profile from scripts, coding CLIs, Lua, and MCP.

Key	Env var	Type	Required	Label
`api_key`	`AFTERSHIP_API_KEY`	Secret `secret`	yes	API Key

Command Patterns

The generic command is stable across every integration. The provider shortcut is shorter for humans.

Generic CLI call

kosmo integrations:call aftership.aftership_list_trackings '{}' --json

Provider shortcut

kosmo integrations:aftership aftership_list_trackings '{}' --json

Discovery

These commands return structured output for coding agents that need to inspect capabilities before choosing a function.

Discovery commands

kosmo integrations:docs aftership --json
kosmo integrations:docs aftership.aftership_list_trackings --json
kosmo integrations:schema aftership.aftership_list_trackings --json
kosmo integrations:search "AfterShip" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Automation Contexts

The same configured command surface works in these environments. The command does not change unless the host wrapper, credentials, or permissions change.

CI Run integration calls from CI jobs with JSON output, explicit credentials, and predictable exit status. Cron Jobs Schedule repeatable integration workflows from cron while keeping credentials in KosmoKrator config. Shell Scripts Call integration functions from shell scripts with stable JSON input and output. Headless Automation Use KosmoKrator as a non-interactive integration runtime for local automations and wrappers. Coding Agents Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.

Permissions

Headless calls still follow the integration read/write permission policy. Configure read/write defaults with integrations:configure. Add --force only for trusted automation that should bypass that policy.
